Can it be possible to have a closet full of clothes, but nothing to wear? Well for me this is my problem.
"You ready yet?" Edward asked peeking his head into our room.
"I have nothing to wear." I sighed in frustration.
"Nothing at all?" he asked stepping into the room. He looked amazing. He had a fitted black t-shirt on with a pair of dark jeans that hung perfectly on his hips. I wanted to jump him.
"Nothing that will meet Eclipse dress code standards."
"Let me help."
He gently moved me out of the way and started scanning our closet. He grabbed three of his button downs. One was white, the other pink, and the last one black. He started biting his lip in thought. "Do you have any belts?"
"Uh…yeah." I nodded going to my drawer to pick one out. The one I picked was a thin leather braided belt.
"Pick which shirt you want to wear and get dressed. Call me when clothed."
I grabbed the black shirt and buttoned it. I rolled the sleeves a couple of times so I wasn't swimming in his shirt. "I'm done." I called.
He walked back into the room with a soft smile on his face. "Belt?"
"Here." I said handing it to him.
He sat down on the bed and pulled me between his legs. My heart started racing from the closeness. He beamed at me, wrapping the belt just under my breasts. "Do you still have the shoes Mom got you?"
I nodded, running to the closet. I slipped on the black peep toes Esme bought me last Christmas. I stood in the closet doorway looking at him on the bed. "I'm going to kill myself in these."
He stood and walked slowly towards me. "You're perfect." He whispered kissing my head.
"I'm wearing your shirt." I giggled in disbelief.
"My shirt, your dress." He shrugged.
"They're not going to let me in."
"A. My brother's club, B. Said brother let his wife wear a similar outfit the other night, except she altered it and made it shorter. C. I don't care about dress code."
"Valid reasons." I nodded.
"Edward, Bella." Esme called.
"In here, Mom." He called back.
She came in with Kenz on her hip smiling brightly at us. "You both look amazing."
"Thank you." I murmured looking up at her. I noticed Kenzie's head laying on her shoulder and a pout on her face.
I frowned. "What's wrong, monk?"
"I want you to stay with me." She whimpered.
"Mackenzie, we'll be back." Edward said brushing her hair behind her ear.
She jerked away from his touch and swatted at his hand. "You can leave, I want Mommy." She cried.
Edward tensed at her words and actions, looking at her with sadness. Before anyone could say anything he stumbled out of the room as quickly as possible. I could have sworn I saw tears.
I went and took her out of Esme's arms and sat down with her on the bed. "You hurt Daddy's feelings."
"I don't care." She snipped.
"I care because I love you both and you hurt him." I whispered.
"You never say I love you to Daddy and he never says it back EVER!" She yelled and I was left speechless with tear falling down my face. We didn't say it to each other and she noticed. She was getting older and she was piecing together that her parents were phonies.
Esme knelt down in front of us. She placed a comforting hand on my knee and her other one on Kenzie's shoulder. "Mackenzie Carlie Cullen, we don't yell at Mommy. She deserves respect and the hurtful things you are saying need to stop."
"I am telling the truth," She argued back stubbornly. "You say always be honest, Nana."
She had her there. Esme looked at her carefully choosing her words. "Remember when Gramps showed you his picture book?" she asked and Kenzie nodded.
"Which one is your favorite picture?" she asked I knew she was baiting her.
"The one with the little boy and girl holding the heart signs." Kenz said softly a smile growing on her face.
"Why?" Esme smiled, brushing back her tear stained hair.
"Cuz the boy is kissing the girl and she makes the face." Kenzie explained.
"What face?" Esme asked looking right at me.
"This one." She said scrunching her face up. I knew that face. That was my face.
"You want to know who the little boy and girl were in Gramps picture book?"
"Who?" She asked cocking her head to the side just like Edward.
"Your Mommy and Daddy." Esme said giving me a knowing look. I remembered that day.
Kenzie looked at her and then me in shock. "Really?"
"They've loved each other for a very long time," She smiled looking up at me. "Just because you don't hear them say it doesn't mean that they don't. Now what do you have to say to Mommy, sweet pea."
"I'm sorry I made you cry and said mean things." She said quietly.
"Apology excepted." I murmured kissing her little nose.
"I need to go say sorry to Daddy." She said hopping off my lap running, out the door.
"Thank you." I whispered to Esme.
"She was going to make you crumble, Bella." She sighed sitting next me on the bed.
"We had kind of a rough day." I explained warily.
"What happened?" she asked brushing my hair back like she did with Kenzie before.
"It's grocery day so I took Kenz like I do every week, except Edward was being weird and begged me to go. He never goes because he hates good food, he eats all that junk shit… We were walking around the store and we saw Jessica Stanley…" I rambled off.
"Jessica Stanley?" Esme said. I could tell she was trying to place the name.
"She…"
"She's the girl that gave Edward syphilis." Esme said more to herself I think.
"Whahuh?" I gasped whipping my head up to look at her.
"I don't think he knows I know this, but after the boys trip home from winter break Edward's freshman year Carlisle received a panicked call from Emmett. At first I was concerned that one of them were in an accident, but Carlisle assured me not to worry. He told me we raised idiots and left right away. He didn't make it home until late in the afternoon the next day."
Something clicked for me. "That was the day Dad bought me my truck."
Carlisle was helping him pick something because after buying Emmett and Edward's vehicles the guy at Fork's Auto gave him a deal. We had to wait later in the day to go until he came back. When Carlise met us there him and Charlie huddled together. I remember Charlie crying with laughter and Carlisle trying to hide his smile. I shot them both a weird look and they both burst into hysterics again. All I knew was Edward was in the hospital, but I was too pissed to care. That was also the day Charlie told me it wasn't a good idea talking to Jessica Stanley.
"It was. He stopped home and told me he spent the night in Seattle making sure Edward got the right rounds of penicillin."
"He never told me."
"He was embarrassed Bella and he didn't want you thinking any less of him. If I remember correctly you quit talking to him for five months."
"I… Jazz and I were hiding out from the party that night when we heard them."
"Oh, Bella." She sighed pulling me into a hug. "Does he know this?"
I shook my head. "Jess saw us together… she saw Kenz and… It's not even believable that we could be together." I cried into Esme's perfect silk blouse not caring if I made any sense.

After Mackenzie made me feel like shit I cried on the couch like a girl. She didn't want me, she wanted Bella. I left her and she remembered this. I am a piece of shit.
I had my face resting in my hands and felt little ones pulling at me.
"No crying." She demanded.
I looked at her about to reprimand her for her tone, but couldn't when I saw the concern on her face.
"Stop crying. I need to say sorry." She insisted.
"You hurt Daddy, Kenz." I said weakly.
"That's why I need to say sorry," She sighed in frustration crawling up on my lap. "You're the kissy boy."
"What are you talking about, monk?" I asked in confusion.
"The kissy boy loves the face girl." She explained scrunching up her face the way Bella did when we were kids. "YOU are the kissy boy and MOMMY is the face girl." She said making the face again.
I stared at her before saying anything. I had no clue what the fuck she was talking about. My silence was only making her more frustrated.
"Do you love Mommy?" she asked in a clipped tone. When did my innocent baby turn into an angst ridden teenager?
"I love her." I nodded slowly.
"Do you love Cruella lady?" Cruella lady? Shit she meant Jessica. This is what this is about.
Putting on my game face I looked Mackenzie straight in her big brown eyes. "I want to tell you something big, Kenzers." I said seriously, making sure I had her full attention.
"What?"
"You and Mommy are the only and I mean only girls Daddy can ever love."
"Only?" she asked cocking her head.
"Only." I said firmly.
She looked thoughtful before saying, "What if I get a sister then you wouldn't love her?" Is this child really four?
I'm not saying that we'll not have anymore children because it's either Bella or no one, but if we came to our senses I want more children with her and only her. "You're right if you were to have a sister I would love her too."
"No Cruella?"
"No Cruella." She threw her arms around my neck almost choking me.
I looked over at the clock on the digital box if we didn't leave soon we were going to be late.
"Mommy and I need to go work for Uncle Em, so you need to stay with Nana."
"Can we have a slumber party?"
"You have to ask Nana."
"Alright." She smiled returning her attention to the television.
I walked back up to our room and heard crying. "Jess saw us together… she saw Kenz and… It's not even believable that we could be together." Bella cried as my mother held her.
Esme saw me standing in the doorway and gave me a pointed look. I backed away out of sight. "Bella you need to talk to Edward. This is not healthy." She said softly. I heard Bella mumble something I didn't quite hear. I waited a few moments for my mother to get her calmed down.
I sighed before poking my head in the room. "Hey Beautiful, ready to go?"
"As I'll ever be." She mumbled grabbing my hand.
"Edward." My mom called. She gave me a look and I knew what I needed to do.
A/N: First things first this chapter had a life of it's own. It was meant to be the club but Mackenzie's attitude picked up and I sort of went with it. Edward I think is going to quit being an ass or at least I hope. This might be a short story or I might be longer it all depends on you guys. There are a lot of people reading and I mean a lot, but they're not reviewing. So please tell me your thoughts. For those of you review I love you reactions! Also someone asked me why they called Mackenzie monk well in chapter one Bella says monk is short for monkey and a few of them say she hangs all over the place so that is the reasoning for the nick-name.
